Please help me with this Kant info--can you translate this please? Formal logic treats of formal, syntactical relations between judgments with no regard for their empirical, mathematical or even transcendental, content. Its province does not include how such judgments come about in the first place. Since judgmental forms are abstractions from ordinary employments of concepts in humans' attempts to communicate and to gain knowledge of the phenomena, formal logic is not specifically concerned with the problem of how understanding is successful by means of either empirical, logical, or mathematical judgments. The investigation of the condition of possibility of such employments of concepts and of understanding--the "tracing back to the origin" of ... (Asked by Shelly)

With Kant's claim that the mind of the knower makes an active contribution to experience of objects before us, we are in a better position to understand transcendental idealism. Kant's arguments are designed to show the limitations of our knowledge. The Rationalists believed that we could possess metaphysical knowledge about God, souls, substance, and so; they believed such knowledge was transcendentally real. Kant argues, however, that we cannot have knowledge of the realm beyond the empirical. That is, transcendental knowledge is ideal, not real, for minds like ours. Kant identifies two a priori sources of these constraints. The mind has ...(Answered by Professor X)

plz. help me to write the main idea of this article in the NY Times. in two pages.? November 5, 2006 Where Plan A Left Ahmad Chalabi By DEXTER FILKINS 1. London, August 2006 Many miles away in a more dangerous place the dream is ending badly. The bodies pile up. Good people stream to the borders. Leaders pile money onto planes. The center is giving way. The apartment on South Street in London is an antidote to Baghdad in nearly every respect. Where the Iraqi capital rings with chaos and violence, the sidewalks of Mayfair are quiet enough to hear your own voice above the cars. Baghdad is treeless and tan; the South Street apartment opens onto a private park filled ... (Asked by god)

I really thought about helping you out here, just because it would be fun to write. Then I looked at your profile and see that: 1. You answer other people's questions so obviously without care and thought and apparently just for points so you can go ask more questions. and 2. The people that are gracious enough to assist you or answer your questions most of the time don't even recieve the courtesy of you selecting the "best answer" but they are instead selected by voters. So instead I decide that if you are not interested in doing the right, then why in the ...(Answered by stymie1970)

What should be the tolerance and diversity allowance towards or against religious statements in a classroom? I have a student who constantly says things like: “with God's help we will get through this class”. I usually let this stuff pass because it is fairly benign, but I’m wondering how other students would feel one of their classmates said something like: “I am just glad that I’m not dependent on a supernatural being helping me to pass this class.” So is just one of these statements offensive? Which one? Are they both inappropriate? Is a public declaration of ones religion alright, while a comment about its abstraction not? Do they both not openly mock the others belief? Rhetorica, Why do you think ... (Asked by Dr. Brian)

On the one hand, you already seem to understand and conform to the mainstream standards; a student in spontaneous or free utterance may invoke any personal beliefs. However, look at the difference in these two statements; in which one is the speaker assuming to speak for others without their permission? If student #1 said "with God's help I will get through this class" it would be less offensive; if hypothetical student #2 said "We're all glad we don't depend on a supernatural being to help us pass this class" then it would be more offensive. Speaking for others without authority, permission, or reliable ...(Answered by TR)
